REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) proposes a mechanism allowing it to use money confiscated from corruption convicts to finance anti corruption campaigns.

If allowed to use the money, KPK would be more effective in carrying out its program to eradicate or prevent corruption, deputy chairman of the anti graft agency Alexander Marwata said on the sidelines of a hearing with the Commission III of the House of Representative here on Tuesday.

Alexander said KPK would not expect to have sufficient fund from the state budget.

So far assets confiscated from corruption convicts have been handed over to the state treasury or the finance ministry as non tax state income (PNBP), he said.
